Hard to tell from the blurry pic (seems like it's bad pic day today), but looks like a shaft collar.

Honest question. Why pay for that rather than paying for a generic 1.25" (or whatever diameter your tube is) shaft collar like this for a fraction of the cost?
set screw and collar

or you could flatten one side of the shaft and press something on.
Could be, maybe something like this and this together? Obviously not the correct sizes.
Oh right!! 3D printing. I had not thought of that.
I saw a youtube channel once This guy had a nice vintage radio with a chicken head knob. He made a silicone cast and then used black epoxy to make his own knob. The tools and amount of work and detail he had to do to make it look good. He had a slotted shaft so made a small spring clip inside the round hole he drilled though.
But. for 3d printing. What if you 3d printed a knob to fit on top of metal collar with a set screw already in it. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Lovejoy-LSC-10-Shaft-Collar-Plated/dp/B007JOHR9W/ref=lp_16411961_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1570770594&sr=1-2
you would need some kind of epoxy or maybe just a good friction fit to make the 3D printed part stick over this collar. And drill a hole to get to the set screw maybe. Or if you can. attach the collar and friction fit the 3D printed part over it?
Link to the appropriate sized shaft collars for anyone interested I used two each side, but I’ve seen people just use one at the top as well. Personal preference.

Why do you need a second dumbbell?
I got a couple of these set screw collars that are awesome for keeping the weights in place. They use a 1/4 inch hex key which is mildly inconvenient.
